Roof squeak? So I’m not entirely sure due to the amount of cargo constantly flowing in and out up my car from work to hobbies, but ever since I drove from Seattle to Yosemite CA last fall, it sounds like when it’s warmer outside, the rear roof glass squeaks (the piece that isn’t the sun roof). Any tips?

I had once a squeaking window seal, driver side which drove me nuts. Solution was clean the rubber seals and use a rubber conditioner afterwards. Now 1 year squeel-free.

You mean just the weatherproof door seals?

I think he's talking about the actual rubber seals around the sunroof. I myself once a season hit all the seals with gummy pfledge which is a rubber conditioner that comes on a stick so it's like a glue stick and you just rub it quickly around each seal.. supposedly helps with ice sticking too (although that's not your issue) But my car certainly never sticks with ice and I attribute some of it to this conditioning.

No I mean the window seals, not sure which it was but one of the Numbers in red.
For clarification, number 16 is the big doorseal.
